Mike Its really disheartening to see that you've messed with the stucture of an excellent festivel. Last year you ran an omaha tournament and a shorthanded tournament as warm up tournies to the main event with great success. Sad to see that this year you have taken the easy option of running bog standard holdem tournaments running concurrently with the main event, with the result that anyone running deep will not be able to play in other tournaments. I really cant praise last years event enough. It was innovative, groundbreaking and provided something totally different for the tournament junkie. Unfortunately this year it seems that you're just choosing all the easy options. Best of luck with the festivel anyway, Im sure with yourself and JP invoilved it will be a huge success.

looking forward to this, will be bashing away at the sats like mad!

The biggest critiscm we had last year was that the whole festival went on too long so we have taken the decision to split the thing into two which should make it easier for people to play all the different events we will have on offer. The next festival will consist solely of shorthanded events which suits Omaha best.

However, having said that if demand is high enough then we may slot an Omaha tournament on the Sunday.

Oh please Mike are you for real?. If you had just said that its too labour intensive to run tournaments over a week long period when the venue isnt always full I would have much more respect for you. Instead youre basically trying to tell the poker community that you're doing them a service and following customer feedback by reducing the number and diversity of events. I find this quite difficult to swallow. I cant understand how anyone can legitimately complain about the length of the festivel when its their prerogative to choose which tournaments they play in. I understand that youre a businessman and dictated to first and foremost by the bottom line. However I think youve squandered the opportunity to build this festivel into something special through a combination of the deepstacks and range of different events. Instead its becoming much closer to your run of the mill festivel thats held in various clubs around the country.

Maybe Pro players can't legimately complain about 8 days in a row of poker but the majority of players are not full time pro and also have families to consider as well as jobs so end up missing some events they might otherwise want to play. Labour costs don't come into it. When we run the short-handed festival it will be 4 days also so that makes 8 total tournament days.

I am not sure that a 50,000 stack tournament supported by two 10k stack tournaments really falls into the run of the mill category but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

It is impossible to please everybody but I would say it would suit more players to have the buyins for these events spread out over more than a week. The S/H event will have a 1k S/H Holdem and either a 500 or 1k S/H Omaha along with a S/H 500 to round things off.

Duff Man Jr.

If ye make all the cash games at the s/h event 6 max also, that'd be sweet.

I be doing satellites for this event.

Shortstack

Online satellites for this event will be starting next week on Green Joker Poker & Bluesq. Mean while our French friends at Winamax have satellites starting on Sunday night. It is a $100+$8 tournament at 9pm (French time) and one seat is Gtd. Winamax is on the OnGame network. https://www.winamax.com/les-tournois_qualifications-live-_european-deepstack-poker-championship

Satellites are now on Green Joker Poker and Bluesquare. The Grand finals are $100+$9 rebuys and take place at 8.30pm on the following dates:

30th Nov
14th Dec
28th Dec
4th Jan
11th Jan
18th Jan
25th Jan

There are $11+$1 feeders every night at 8pm and these are in turn fed by 3 freerolls at 12pm, 2pm & 4pm.

Shortstack

Just a reminder that there are $11+$1 feeder sats running at 8pm everynight on GJP/Bluesq, I think there are already some boardsies qualified for the first final.

Conor,
The above is the reason why I did not play last year and unfortunately cant play this year either. I think Mike is right here and for the part time players which make up the vast majority of tourny players then a week long festival is just not feasible.

Omaha although a fantastic game does still not attract the numbers like the NLHE tournys.

Good luck with this Mike and I might make it for 1 of the side events.

If you think the numbers are there Baz i will book a venue in Drogheda for a sat, I would just have to check with frank dennis what nights he has a game as i dont want to step on anyones toe's. Also what night would suit or maybe a wk end game , let me know .

baz2007

no offence Damo but I am trying 2 see if gjp will be running sats for themselves.people in drogheda are more inclined 2 show up if they know the lads themselves are involved thanks anyway.

redzerdrog

i would be interested if there was a sat around drogheda.

btw who is frank dennis i keep getting text about a game in mchughs pub i think ran by him?? does these game get many numbers anyone know??

Frank was one of our regular dealers, he runs a good game and gets 20-30 each week.

He is running a €100+€15 Freezeout for tickets on the 27th in McHughs. This is being fed by a weekly freeroll so sdhould have some good value.

hf4z6sqo7vjngi

Mike if you ran something like a 150 double chance i reckon you would get 30 plus runners for this generating 3+ tickets. Perhaps a trip down memory lane to the Star & Crescent is in order......:p

Frank is 1 of the more genuine guy's around drogheda and he has a game in mcHugh's on a monday and wednesday night that i would recommend any1 to play, and also he has a sat on the 27th for the GJP deepstack event . Frank can i reserve a seat for this please.

Frank's game will be good, €100 is probably a better level to get the numbers in tbh. There will be at least 10 people there who have won tickets in Franks freerolls and a lot of his regulars will play at €100. If all you sharks want some value then this is the game to be at. No need for us to take away from it by running a competing satellite.

baz2007

thanks mike didn't know about franks sat and just making sure ur not forgeting about ur old school drog heads.will defo play this also cheers Damo for the interest.

It is on the Chord Road.

It is right next to Lawrences gate.

If you know the Drogheda Poker Club then it is not too far from there.

Shortstack

The Macau are running sats for the deepstack on the 20th, 27th Jan and 3rd Feb. It is €100 with a rebuy and top up. I am sure Ken will be on to post the full details shortly.

Also The Ace Club in Buncrana are planning a satellite too.

I might have two free spots this Friday for a €150 home game around Drogheda with 1 ticket guaranteed (no cash alternative). PM if interested.
